Meet Rick Sarver

The Foundation of Local Expertise and Authentic Service

Rick Sarver’s authority in the Carolinas' real estate market is anchored by over two decades of strategic business experience and deep community immersion. Moving to Myrtle Beach in 2010, Rick chose to become an active participant in shaping the region’s growth rather than just watching it evolve from the sidelines. His early entrepreneurial footprint on the coast was defined by a bold and successful venture: the Boardwalk Coffeehouse. Alongside his wife, DeAnn, Rick built this local establishment into a thriving business, earning a lasting reputation for sharp business acumen, exceptional customer care, and high-level community engagement.  This background as a local business owner serves as a critical differentiator in his real estate career. Running a high-traffic community hub provided Rick with a masterclass in market dynamics. It taught him how to manage sophisticated business operations under pressure while maintaining an absolute, customer-centric focus. This unique foundation ensures that his approach to real estate is always rooted in firm business principles, never just basic sales tactics. For Rick, transitioning into full-time real estate was a natural progression driven by a lifelong desire to guide people through their most significant personal and financial milestones.

A Legacy of Relational Leadership

Beyond commerce, Rick’s perspective is profoundly shaped by a twelve-year tenure as a lead pastor at Grace Life Fellowship. In ministry, trust is the primary currency, and authentic relationships are everything. This experience instilled in Rick a service-oriented methodology that stands out in a transaction-driven industry: the art of truly listening. He believes a real estate advisor should slow down and listen intensely, ensuring clients feel fully heard, validated, and supported without feeling pressured.  

In today’s fast-paced real estate environment, Rick prides himself on bringing an "on-call" level of accountability to his clients. He intentionally combats the industry stereotype of the unresponsive agent by staying highly communicative, readily available, and completely transparent from the initial consultation to the closing table. By removing the anxiety of the unknown, Rick keeps his clients confident in their choices every step of the way.  

A Luxury Experience at Every Price Point

Now leading the Coastal Carolina division of The Sarver Group, Rick views a home as much more than just a physical structure or a financial asset. He understands that buying or selling a property is a major, life-changing event that holds a huge piece of a person’s story and future. Because the stakes are so high, Rick approaches every transaction with the gravitas it deserves, acting as a dedicated guide and advocate.  

Dual-licensed in both North Carolina and South Carolina, Rick brings a masterclass in negotiation, comprehensive market intelligence, and absolute integrity to the entire coastline. Backed by the powerhouse resources of Keller Williams, his mission aligns perfectly with The Sarver Group’s core promise: to serve as your "Real Estate Advisor for Life" while delivering a luxe experience at any price point.  

When he isn't negotiating on behalf of his clients or scouting coastal properties, Rick is an avid traveler who has explored countries across Europe, South America, and the Middle East. He is also a published author, a passionate landscape photographer, and a painter—creative outlets that give him an exceptionally sharp, editorial eye when staging and marketing coastal homes.
